Robinson is bringing bis fellows here this -time and will try feather-weights' and lightweights In the future. .The main event tonight will be . one of the old fashioned slugging . kind, according to Robinson, as ' both boys deal out a lot of pun ishment and can also consume plenty.

The col ored boy has only fought twice, before, but has been , working hard recently and will be more evenly matched with Thomas, a bi? Indian boy.
